The Arizona Cardinals will visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding QB Jacoby Brissett.
Is Jacoby Brissett Playing in Week 13?
Brissett is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Cardinals’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Brissett in Week 13?
Brissett has posted nothing but top-12 finishes since taking over for Kyler Murray and ranks as QB5 in PPG since Week 6.
He’s been nothing short of phenomenal with multiple TD passes in each of those games and a heavy reliance on his most trusted outlets. This isn’t a Jameis Winston, throw everything against the wall game plan. What has allowed Brissett to sustain his production is his willingness to play within himself.
Over the past two weeks, he’s 59-of-68 when throwing short of the sticks. I don’t think he keeps completing those passes at an 86.8% rate, but with the Bucs blitzing at the sixth-highest rate this season (31.3% of dropbacks), that throw diet gives me confidence in the fantasy floor of this profile.
The decision I suspect people will have to make is between Brissett and Joe Burrow.
Give me Brissett.
